Hey Guys,

Im getting the stuff together for my 5 lug swap. Just wanted to knowthe pros/cons of using either Fox length or SN95 Length axels

Im probably getting the rear kit from North Race cars with the brackets and everything.

Also what offset wheel? Im going to be getting 18", and was looking at the BBS RK wheel.

Not much really. It just depends on what wheels you would like to run.


For me, i want to eventually install ABS on my Fox, so i chose to retain SN95-lenght axles. A lot of guys don't care and go fix lenght with disk brakes. The vast majority of wheels need this setup to fit, but if you go with S197 offset and BS wheels, you can get it to work with the SN95 axles.

With the SN95 axel length thouhg you have to roll the fender wells pretty good right? Since they are 3/4 inch longer.

Also I dont want to screw myself out of wheel options lol.
